Even the fact that she had signed her mi
tials instead of her name stirred his feelings.
1t seemed to be the suggestion of a confden-
tial relation that he was expected to under
stand
It was lovely vision that stood smiling
before him in his musing-a clear, trans
parent complexion, flashing black eyes, a
stately bearing. She had inherited the
beauty and wit of her mother, an accom-
plished English lady whom Mr.. Craydocke
had won to be the mistress of his Maryland
home and whose death was still poignant
sorrow.
The old manor-house and its hearty en-
ioyments came before him. A part of the
scene, but out of place in it, there was his old
self-a quiet, studious, moody young man,
Mr.. Henry Craydocke's private secretary by
title, but really sort of upper servant, for
he had been bought by the lord of the
manor, one among shipload of convicts and
redemptioners sold at Annapolis into service
for term of years to pay the expenses of
their passage to Lord Baltimore's planta-
tions. Who he really was he did not know.
He remembered having happy home and a
loving widowed mother before he was kid
mapped by crimp in an English seaport
town and shipped across the sea. His fate
was not an extraordinary ONE for so great
was the demand for labor in the tobacco
plantations in the provinces that the exporta-
ton of servants was profitable business,
and kidnapping was not unusual. Craydocke
took the trouble to write to correspondents in
England about the case, but got no tidings OF
the boys family.
Rolfe would have never dared to entertain
thought of love for Edith Craydocke had
she not encouraged him. There was strong
element of coquetry in her nature, not SO
we'll restrained as it would have been had she
had mothers care. She was not indiffer-
ent to the companionship of an intellectual
man; nor could she resist the temptation to
see whether her arts were as effective against
this proud, sensitive self-contained spirit
as upon the boisterous and ELUSIVE planters
1t was cruel piece OF work, and its progress
was frequently interrupted by self-reproaches
The idea of permitting the ex-servant to adj
dress the heiress of Sinneput Manor she never
entertained for a moment while she fully
recognized his superiority to the other men
with whom she came in contact. But his
pride and selfcontrol were a challenge to
her powers of fascination that she would not
forego.
1t was painful subsection to him. It was
not alone that he brooded over this fair
creature with love that was unspeakable, but
his heart was also subjected TO the corrosions
of jealousy. He detested Lord Creighton,

from England in Governor Shapes train,

A Few DesuItory Remarks ON These Ener-
getic Beasts.
There is very little repose about cyclones
Men always seem to be in hurry as though
they had note to meet, or were anxious to
get to the baseball grounds before the game
began.
They never have time to stop and shake
hands with a man instead of that they
shake the whole individual, and everything
thing else within reach; not only shake
them, but take them along.
Cyclones are no respecters of persons.
They would as lief hurry phenomenal
pitcher through the armament as a member
OF Congress Vanderbilt as tramp.
They are among the most energetic and
self-assertiye productions OF this energy pro
ducing country.
Gazing at cyclones from a strictly I'M
partisan standpoint, it seems to me strange
that in the United States, where energy is SO
generally admired, they should be SO I'M
popular.
For that cyclones are unpopular is an adj
mitted fact.
There is not a more friendless thing in the
world than a cyclone. Even when weary
with long run across a particularly difficult
piece of country, no man would think of in
yiting cyclone to step into his house and
take cup of tea to refresh itself. The aver
age citizen would rather have it pass by on
the other side; and this average citizen
aforesaid never feels sighted if a Cyclone
ON its travels ignores his farm, and traverses
instead the fertile fields of his neghbor.
No asylum for worn-out cyclones has yet
been established, neither has any philan-
thropist ever thought of endowing hospital
for their benefit.
Rather then encourage cyclones to prowl
in his vicinity, a man will even resort to
subterfuge to distract their attention and
induce them to vacate the premises.
A man in Kansas did this once.
The subterfuge he resorted to was plain,
unassuming board, but from the account ii
did its duty nobly.
The Kansan saw the cyclone coming along
with the apparent intention OF buttine
against brand new-barn. AS the paint on
this building was hardly dry, the man did
not want any of it to rub off by colliding
with an adult cyclone. SO he took the
board and held it firmly on the ground
so that the cyclone would strike its
edge. This had the effect of splitting
the cyclone down the front, and SC
thoroughly discouraging it that it forgot
its business in that part of the country, and
left in disorder Tor Canada. The casualties
ON the side Of the board were immaterial.
This method is better one than putting
salt on the cyclones tail which untier.

The Flat-head babies have hard time
of it, Soon after birth they are placed
in a peculiar cradle, where boards are
bound to the head just over the brows,
flattening the pliable skull in most
grotesque manner, and rendering them
cripples for life. Flat-head children are
never very bright, just the opposites of
the young Sioux, who grow up, in grease
and dirt, veritable boy athletes, and never

countered the Flat-heads during their

GUS chant, and though Il squaw's roper

The baby In the buckskin cradle listens
attentively to the song which prophesies
all manner of greatness for him when he
is grown. He is to be strong and mighty
swift to overtake the deer and terrible to
the foe. His arms are TO overcome the
grizzly and protect his mother in her old
age. 1t is song of this kind that sends

cradle is laid tenderly on the ground, and
